Isaac Collins Dealing With Back/Side Tightness
Kansas City Royals outfielder Isaac Collins (back, side) is dealing with mild back/left-side tightness in camp, which is why he hasn't been in the Cactus League lineup in spring training since Tuesday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The Royals are being cautious more than anything else, with Collins telling Rogers it's an injury he "doesn't want to push through" with Opening Day only two weeks away. It's something to monitor for now, with Collins being considered more day-to-day. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Royals in the offseason in a trade with the Brewers after the switch-hitter batted .263/.368/.411 with a .779 OPS, nine home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs, and 16 stolen bases in 441 plate appearances over 130 games in 2025 in his second year in the majors. His .111 batting average in 20 plate appearances in spring training wasn't helping his cause for a part-time role in KC's outfield to begin the 2026 campaign.
